Notifications from the server?

Hey gang, recently rebuilt my home server using docker and portainer and I’ve been having a blast curating the different things on it. Homehub has the spouse absolutely stoked and she asked if I could get it to send notifications. I honestly have no Idea so I thought I’d ask here.

Is there a reliable way to send notifications from a home server to smart phones? I’m already set up for remote access, but I’m still new enough that I don’t even know how to look for that.

Here you have: https://ntfy.sh/

And because it is you you launch the connection is pretty secure… Assuming telegram servers are not compromised…

This is looking to be my best option, it looks like I can send text notifications through email to sms and I like that

  • SimplePush (Home Assistant)
  • nfty.sh
  • Uptime Kuma
  • Gotify

There are plenty of others. Those just come to mind

What sets SimplePush and Kuma apart from the others?

i really like my ntfy.sh server at the house!

i got scared with the huge AI commit for postgres and i locked my install at the version just before, but it appears to still be doing okay

The most reliable notification service I have used is pushover, I know it’s not self host. But ROCK sold and for a £5 life time payment and with 10,000 messages per month that’s amazing

I like Pushover too. I’ve been using it for over 10 years now.

Yup, Pushover has been great for me.

+1 Gotify. I have been using it for years with no issues.

What set’s Gotify apart from ntfy?

yodeljunkmanenvy@piefed.social on 15 Apr 20:23 collapse

It’s written in Go. Very fast and lightweight. Go + ntfy = Gotify

Notifications for what? Through what channel? I have email alerts for updates and disk errors, but I’m guessing your spouse doesn’t want those.

Ideally for things like upcoming calendar events or notes on Homehub, maybe spec updates or added media, though jellyfin already gives us updates on that. Really just a reliable software that will send us a text or notification popup on our phones that I can connect other software to.

I use ntfy, they had some recent controversy over some AI commits, but, for me, if it works I’m fine with it. Havent noticed a difference. Mine is also not exposed to the outside world.
